Pros

Working at BetterUp has been one of the most transformational experiences I have had professionally. The work itself is challenging and fun, the people are intellectual and empathetic, and the community is engaging and warm. I feel so lucky that I have been able to work at BetterUp for a year and a half in now two different positions. The leadership team is thoughtful and caring while also making great decisions for the business.

Cons

BetterUp is hard work! We have a big mission and want to bring that mission to people around the world. This definitely is not a "clock in, clock out" environment. A great place to work if you genuinely want to build. Not so great if you are looking to just get a paycheck.

Pros

- Great teams and co workers. Everyday I come to work excited to see them and am continually impressed by the caliber of who gets hired. They’re sharp and kind. - The company, it’s product, employees and leadership all care deeply about our mission of improving the lives of workers by helping them live with greater clarity and purpose. It’s built in to the product and the way we work. - We’re building something new to the world! All good ideas are welcome and the feeling of innovation is palpable. - Customers love the product! End users love BetterUp! Not in a “I love ‘X’ software” kind of way, but in a ‘this has transformed my life and I’m a better, happier person’ kind of way. And businesses see results in mindset change at a scale that has never been possible before. - supportive learning environment that values iterations and sharing knowledge.

Cons

- it’s a brand new product to the world! We’re literally building the market for it and that’s not easy. There’s a ton of lessons to be learned and if you’re not comfortable being uncomfortable then this job won’t be for you. You have to be in it for the long game and be willing to test, fail and try again! A lot of time there is no instruction book or formula to follow. - The pace and the demands can be stressful. While there is a lot of fun and excitement about what we are doing, there’s a lot of stress too. Every moment matters, every project managers every client matters and this can lead The pace and the demands can be stressful. Wow there is a lot of fun and excitement about what we are doing, there’s a lot of stress too. Every moment matters, every project managers every client matters and this can lead to demanding to work situations where the stakes are high. If you’re not taking care of yourself under these circumstances it can be easy to get burnt out.
